The duchess is taking part in a series of video chats to mark the United Kingdom’s Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week.

Over the weekend, the mother of three spoke with new parents Rebecca and John, who welcomed a newborn during the coronavirus pandemic.

"Having a baby is an extraordinary experience at any time, but having one during lockdown and then having a surprise conversation with the Duchess of Cambridge after two hours sleep was particularly surreal,” Rebecca told People.

Last month, Prince William and Catherine surprised teachers and children of first responders with a video call thanking them for all they are doing.
